48. Plus - there is disagreement among experts all the time concerning our health

CDC says we need a tetanus shot (DTaP/DTP) every 10 years as adults.

Oregon Health & Science University experts say we have antibodies to tetanus for 30 yrs or more if we had our childhood shots. Many European countries don’t give tetanus vaxx to adults who had their childhood shots.

OHSU -“Adults don’t need tetanus, diphtheria boosters if fully vaccinated as children, study finds
U.S. currently recommends booster shots for adults every 10 years”

“Adults do not need tetanus or diphtheria booster shots if they’ve already completed their childhood vaccination series against these rare, but debilitating diseases, according to research published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.”

The conclusion aligns with the World Health Organization’s recent recommendations to only routinely give adults tetanus and diphtheria vaccines if they didn’t receive a full series of shots as children. In the U.S., the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices still recommends all adults receive booster shots every 10 years.

France’s experts say to get your tetanus shot every 20 yrs & other European countries mostly say you are protected by your childhood shots.

EXPERTS disagreeing!!

Remember when eggs would give us a heart attack and processed seed oils were good for us. We were told processed margarine was better for our health than butter. Instead of bacon & eggs we were told to eat glyphosate contaminated oatmeal.

I have college educated friends who still believe eggs are bad for you ???
Three women friends - who if they have a rare egg - it’s only the whites. That’s what experts in the past told them and they will believe that till they die. .
